I Pitt Beats Fordham, Baylor ies Texas Panthers Hand Rams Surprise Setback, 13-0 Pitt Scores First Triumph This Season As Saksa, Jones Register Tallies PITTSBURGH, Nov. 8,-(P)-Pitt 13; Fordham 0. And thereby hangs another enact- ment of football's favorite saga-the story of the team that always was beaten rising to glory witA a shock- ing upset of the team that couldn't be beaten.- In this case it was a band of badly mauled Pitt Panthers-they hadn't won once in five previous starts-who smashed down a potential football powerhouse, the all-victorious Ford- ham Rams.l 6nly 20,000 Witnesses Even dyed-in-the-wool Panther fans hd lost faith in the oft-beaten Pitt club and there vas a bare 20,000 spectators in the cavernous recesses of smoke-stained Pitt Stadium for the game. But those comparatively few faith- ful witnessed an epic. For the Pan- thers not only defeated the Rams- they balked the touted powerhouseat every turn and clearly led in every department of play. Pitt revealed that it had picked to- day to catch on fire early in the game by driving 70 yards after 12 minutes of the first period had elapsed.

Jones Goes Over Then, after stopping Fordham's vaunted attack for almost three full periods, the Panthers capitalized on Ram desperation and scored the clin- cher late in the fourth quatter.

The Irish, in keeping themselves on the list of the unconquered with a 20-13 triumph, did so on the fine forward passing of sophomore Angelo Bertelli; the sweeping, slanting, hard- to-stop drives of Steve Juzwik and Frederick Owen (Dippy) Evans, and the smashing defensive play and of- ten miraculous pas-catchng of their ends, principally Bob Dove, John Kovatch and Matt Bolger. Bertelli Sparks Irish Bertelhi, the blonde Italian young- ster from West Springfield, Mass., this afternoon was every bit the passer he had been cracked up to be. The first one he threw, early in the second quarter, went for 42 yards to set up the game's first touchdown; he passed to Juzwik for 18 yards and the second score, and two of' his passes that were good for 41 yards brought Notre Dame a first down on the Middie eight yard line, from where they went to their winning tally. Late in the first quarter Navy had moved from its own 37 to the Notre Dame 36. Smeared for a seven yard loss on the next play, the Sailors elected to pass. Bill Busik drifted back to midfield before he let fly. Down on the Notre Dame 20 Evans came up on the dead Iun and, with a ,masterful exhibition of pace- changing, threaded his way up the field 39 yards before he was hauled down on the Navy 41. . Evans Gets Toukhdown The Irish bucked for two yards, lost five- for offside, then shifted into their box formation with Bertelli back. The lanky ,-kidF pitched some 30 yards to Bill Earley, sub halfback, who pulled in the ball on the 20 and at last was forced out of bounds on the Navy 2. The 200-pound Navy line stopped Evans' first buck, but the second time he shot through a hole for the touchdown, and Juzwik added the extra point. Then late in the third period, after a punting exchange, Notre Dame S PRTFOLIO ! Three Big Upsets Yesterday * Sellout For OSU ame SByHAL WILSON Daily Sports Editor * * * * T HE LIVES of some 200 of the nation's football players were rudely altered in a short but furious two and a half hours yesterday. Members of the highly-rated Fordham, Texas and Navy gridiron machines will now be forced to eat their Christmas plum pudding at home dodging snowballs like the rest ofus. Their round trip tickets to the Sugar, Cotton and Rose Bowls were canceled in no uncertain terms in the biggest day .of upsets of this 1941 grid campaign. ND EVEN AS THESE THREE top-notch outfits were bounced from the rarified atmosphere of the unbeaten, so the path was opened for other good college teams to receive the nod for Bowl nominations. In an unofficial poll Friday night Stanford players, who are odds- on choices to be Rose Bowl hosts, expressed the desire to entertain Crain, Layden & Co., otherwise known as the Texas Longhorns, in the annual New Year's Day classic. BEING VERY UNCOOPERATIVE about the entire matter, a fighting band of Baylor Bears yesterday washed off the varnish of invincibility which previously characterized the Longhorns by holding them to a 7-7 deadlock. In fact, it was Texas that did the holding in a furious battle, for Baylor took the early lead and the Longhorns had to fight back desperately in the last half to prevent defeat. In what will undoubtedly later be termed the season's greatest upset, the Panthers of 'Pittsburgh recaptured some of that gridiron might which once struck deadly fear into all Pitt opponents and clawed Fordham, 13-0. Thus, they. deprived the Rams from an almost certain chdice Bowl berth and wonderful Christmas yacation. And worse yet, New York sports writers will be forced to get their southern tan this year from ultra-violet rays. LESS AN UPSET but still a mild eyebrow-raiser was the 20-13 setback Notre. Dame handed Navy, which was slated for a big benefit Bowl. Now the Middies can stay home, study harder, graduate sooner, and con- Melzow Works. Hard, But Well, At Guard Post By BENNETT YANOWITZ After working at a thing almost constantly for close to seven years, a fellow might\,think it was time to begin to take it easy. But not Bill Melzow, bespectacled senior guard on the Wolverine grid machine. Bill started on the road to football success at Flint Central, where he won three varsity letters in football.

Harvard dumped by 20-6 the same Army team 7Awhich fought Notre Dame to a scoreless tie last Saturday. Penn State defeated, the same Syracuse outfit which crushed Wisconsin, Detroit edged Marquette, and Alabama ditto Tulane. . GAMES IN THE MIDWEST went according to schedule for winners but not for scores. Twelve touchdowns and 80 points marked Ohio State's roaring 46-34 triumph over Wisconsin's Badgers, who think the best de- fense is a good offense and have-been proven wrong four times already this year. Minnesota played its usual game which was good for a nine point margin"'over Nebraska. Iowa downed Illinois, driving another nail into Zuppke's coaching coffin; Northwestern subdued Indiana, and Michigan State tied Purdue. * * * * SPORTS HASH: Capt. Bob Westfall's All-America football stock jumped a few points yesterday when Fordham bowed to the in- spired Panthers . . . for the Ram fullback, Steve Filipowicz, was con- sidered by Eastern authorities as Westy's closest competitor for the honor selection. But how authoritative are Eastern authorities? . . . New York sports writers-the same ones who aren't making Christmas trips-are acclaiming the Michigan transfer Johnny Allerdice as one of Princeton's two best freshman gridders .. . . which may be true . . . but they also say that Johnny, who shifted from here to the Eastern school during the middle of pil-season training drills, was ranked above Tommy Kuzma at the time . . . and that he easily ran through Michigan's Varsity in practice for touchdowns . . . neither of which is true . . . Allerdice was fourth string tailback, behind Kuzma, Nelson and Robinson. SCALPERS SHOULDN'T READ THIS, but Michigan's Stadium is a complete sellout for the Ohio State game . . . Ticket manager Harry Tillotson announced last night that 85,'53 tickets had been dis- tributed, just as in the case of Minnesota, and that the sale assured I Michigan of its biggest home season with 301,606 paid admissions for five games. b A traveling squad comprising Capt. Dobby Burton, John Patten, Bob.

Baylor, Steers Deadlock, 7-7 Kittrell Runs And Passes Bears ToSurprise Tie WACO, Tex., Nov. 8-(A)-Baylor hurled baffling ground play and aer- ial magic at the University of Texas Longhorns today to gain a 7-7 tie with the nation's top-ranked football team. A hard-charging Baylor ofense led by Kitt Kittrell, an amazing 175- pound sub halfback who ran and passed the Longhorns dizzy, and Jack Wilson, key Bear pack, largely out- fought a Steer eleven which appeared disorganized throughout. Fast-breaking backs gave Baylor 128 yards on the ground to the Steers' 116, while the Longhorns gained 43 yards overhead to the Hears' 41. Bay- lor completed 6 of 12 passes to 4 of 14 by the Steers. The Longhorns obviously suffered from the loss of regular fullback Pete Layden, wingman Malcolm Kutner and tackle Julian Garrett, all bench- ed because of injuries last week. Gophe-s Beat Nebraska, 9-' Higgins, Sweiger Spark Minnesota To Victory MINNEAPOLIS, Nov. 8-( P)-Min- nesota's Golden Gophers won their fifteenth straight football game'to- day, defeating Nebraska, 9 to 0, in a stubbornly fought contest. Stepping methodically along to- ward another perfect season, Coach Bernie. Bierman's outfit held the up- per hand from the start. They threat- ened several times but found the going mighty tough when the Corn- husker's goal was threatened. There was no score yet, at the start of the second quarter and it took thatl sensational little man-Bud Higgins -to shoot into the game and begin takinghthat pigskin places. s Midget Bud showed the big fel- lows how it should be done by skip- ping ten yards for a first down on the Nebraska one. Then, heavyweight Bob Sweiger powered it over. But the Huskers smashed through and blocked the try for the extra point and were still very much in the ball game. That was the way things remained right on through the third period, with Minnesota warily trying to pick up a safe margin and Neb- raska desperately trying to connect with a payoff pass. Early in the fourth period, Bill Daley tried for a field goal from the Huskers' 22 but it was wide. Then came a punt exhibition and Bill be- gan plunging for substantial yardage. He battered to the Nebraska seven where on fourth down, Bill Garnaas booted a field goal, and Minesota's championship stride thus was finally protected with just a few minutes remaining. Black Hawks Gain Tie With Montreal Puckmen MONTREAL, Nov. 8-(AP-Chi- cago's Black Hawks battled from be- hind a 2-0 deficit tonight to gain a 2-2 deadlock with Montreal.. Goals by Joe Cooper and Mush March in the third period put the Hawks back on even terms, after Rod Lorrain and the Bunny Dame scored for the Canadiens. The tie left Chicago unbeaten in two games, while it was the first point for the Canadiens in two Na- tional Hockey League games. Playing in mid-season form, both teams gave a gallery of little more than 6,000 a hard, dashing gatfe. The Canadiens had moved out in front at 18:24 of the first session when Rookie Lorrain took Ray Get- liffe's pass to beat Sam Lo Presti. f . BILL MELZOW well as the guard position that he now fills\ So well did he play these positions that in his senior year he was named as a member of the myth- ical All-City, All-Saginaw Valley, and All-State teams. Three-Letter Man At Michigan, Bill is well on the way to again winning three letters in football. He broke into the first game in his sophomore year against Michi- gan State and has been in there pretty regularly since then. Last year Bill alternated with Ralph Fritz, and this year he has shared the right guard position with sophomore Merv Pregulman. Coach Crisler can keep the guard positions off his worrying list as long as he has men like these to fill the posts. This year the likeable senior has received much attention as the Wol- verine place kicker. Bill first began to practice placing the ball between the uprights when- he was back in high school. Though the Maize and Blue griders, haven't been in any crucial battles where the point-after- touchdown has meant the difference between victory and defeat this year, it is a satisfying feeling to have a man as reliable as Bill around. The team hasn't forgotten least year's battle with Minnesota. Team's Hardest Worker It doesn't detract from the others to say that Melzow is probably the hardest worker on the team. Night after night, Bill is the first lineman down to practice and works steadily to improve his linework and place kicking. Coach Clarence Munn praised the senior guard's fine team spirit, "For three years now Bill has been out there working all the time. He is a fine example for all the fellows and certainly deserves much credit." Bill will receive his degree next June when he completes his studies in the field of Political Science. He hopes to have a job waiting for him as a teacher and coach-if the draft doesn't get him in the meantime. His physical examination comes up next weed. But at any rate, big Bill Mel- zow is sure to finish up his last two games for Michigan and hopes to finish them in grand style, working hard for the team as always.
